The purpose of this free-space profile page is to present the genealogy research compiled by Jerry W. Pickering. There are online resources included as the research progressed toward present day, but much of the research, especially the foundation, was conducted by Jerry at the Family History Library in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Records and Notes on the genealogy of Pickering (Pickeringe, Pickern, Pickerin, Pickril, Pickrell, Pickrill, Pickrom, Pickron, Pickerell, Pickrin, Pickring ,Picerene, Picaring, Peckaring, Pickarin) and related families of Northumberland County Virginia, Edgecombe County North Carolina, Middle Tennessee and Southern Arkansas.

Given that the work was not intended for public consumption it has been edited by Jerry's brother, Jim. Editing involved correcting very few typos and amplifying a few notes for clarification. Otherwise Jerry devoted a considerable amount of research to prove negatives. Those individuals researched and deemed not to be related have been deleted to reduce the file size. Likewise the research after about 1850, with sources online, was deleted to reduce the file size. There are individuals in this Pickering genealogy for whom information is not adequate to generate a credible profile that connects to the next generation. However, the research taken as a whole is compelling. Therefore, this page will be linked to each Pickering profile starting with the ancestors first arriving in Arkansas and extending back to the oldest record found dated 1655 in Northumberland County, Virginia, or until this Pickering branch connects with another in the WikiTree.

Jerry Pickering, "The family history outlined below represents my interpretation of the records I was able to find. While I did not always find definitive records, there is strong circumstantial evidence for my conclusions. Even though the Pickering surname was often mis-spelled, especially in the early years, one can follow a trail of recurring family names.There are, no doubt, a few mistakes in the document but at least it will provide a basis for further research."

1. George Pickeringe / Pickarin / Pickerin - (born unknown - died after 1672) married - Sarah unk - (born unknown - died unknown) Children Edward - (born after 1643 NCV- d after 1672 )
2. William I - (born after older brother Edward (between 1644 & 1668) NCV - died about 1712)

  • 1655 Indentured servant George Pickeringe arrives Northumberland County Virginia sponsored by William Nutt [1]
  • 4 June 1655, Northumberland County, Virginia. Under the Headrights program, William Nutt received 333 acres “on North side of Wicocomoco River” for trans of 7 persons Wm. Goward, Jno. Hollaway, Geo. Pickeringe, Math.Wilcocks, Jno. Smith, Sarah Roberts, Wm. Nutt [2]
  • 4 Feb1662, Northumberland County Record Book. Charles Hoyle & wife Elizabeth assign all their rights to patent and land therein to George Pickarin his heirs & assignees for ever. 450 acres “upon S.W. side & towards the head of lower Chotanke Cr”. opposite to land of James Magregorie. Patent for land was originally granted to James Magriger & Hugh Fough, by them assigned to Alexander Maccotter & by him assigned to George Pickerin & Charles Hoyle who assigned his interest to George Pickerin. [2]
Research Note 1: Two different mis-spellings of the Pickering surname in the same document. From the description of the patent, this George Pickering married to Sarah, is the father of William Pickering I. George Pickarin/Pickerin could be the indentured servant George Pickeringe above but 450 acres would be a huge amount of land to receive from an indentured servant contract.
Jim Note: The typical indenture arrangement was that in exchange for passage to North America the indentured person was obligated to work for the master for four to seven years. For his/her labor the master was obligated to provide only basic necessities; food, clothing, and shelter. At the end of that time, some were given 25 to 50 acres of land.[3] It is highly unlikely that our George could have fulfilled the obligation of his indenture and accumulated money to purchase 450 acres of land seven years after arrival. While the indentured servant to planter is unlikely, it is an interesting coincidence that unmarried, indentured George came across the Atlantic with Sarah Roberts, and our George Pickeringe or Pickerin later has a wife named Sarah when there were several males for every female. There are a couple of possibilities. Probably the most likely is that indentured George Pickeringe and George Pickerin who acquired 450 acres of land are different people, the latter being one who arrived with the funds to acquire land. Another possibility is that George Pickeringe and William Nutt were in cahoots with George and wife Sarah pretending to be indentured to rip off the mother country for a few hundred acres. We may never know.
  • 4 Feb 1662 - George Pickrin, planter, sells a portion of the land patented above “towards the head of the Lower Chetank Creeke” to David Spence, Consent given by wife Sarah. Witnessed by Sarah. [4]
Research Note 2: This is David Spence, Sr, father of David Spence, Jr and grandfather of Sarah Spence who married William Pickering II.
  • 24 April 1664 - Will of George Pickrin leaves “my pattent & land that lyeth in CHOTANCK GREEKE in the County of Northumberland” to his Eldest son EDW:Pickrin. Leaves all his livestock to Sarah and the land to Sarah until EDW comes of age. [4]
Research Note 3: George leaves his entire estate to eldest son, a custom which was common in England at the time. From the description of the patent on “Chotanck Creek”, this land appears to be the same as patented above by George and Sarah and inherited below by William Pickering I. Apparently Edward died sometime after 1672 and William inherited the land. The will states that Edward was the eldest son indicating more than one son. Since William I inherited the farm, he could be the next eldest son and born after Edward and before 1664 year the will written.
Jim Note: "Of Age" under colonial law was 21 years.[5] 1664-21=1643 Edward born after 1643, and William after Edward.
  • 17 Apr 1672 - Edw and George Pickering register their marks for cattle. EDW PICKERING his marke the right ear uper halfed & a peece taken out under neath and ye left ear is upper halfed. GEORGE PICKERING his mark. Both eares upper halfed. [4][6]

  • 1 Dec 1694 - Description of land of John Harris, 150 acres in Fairfield Par. Northumberland Co, adj Scott’s Cr., John Dowing (Downing), and George Peckaring (Pickering). [7]
Research Note 5: This description of the property on Scott’s Cr in Fairfield Parish Northumberland County does not seem to match records below for William Pickering in St. Stevens Parish. However, what became St. Stevens Parish was formed in 1653 as Chikacone Parish and was renamed Fairfield Parish in 1664. When St. Steven’s Parish was formed in 1698, Fairfield became its lower part and Bowtracy became the northern part.
  • 18 May 1698 - Will of John Downing proved by oaths of David Spence, Thomas Hobson and John Simpkin. Executrix was Mrs. Elizabeth Downing, his widow. Elizabeth was represented by Captain Richard Haynie. [8]

  • 3 April 1706 - Description of land warrant for William Jones of Northumberland Co. 245 acres “on Scotts or Chetank Cr.” adj William Pickering.[7]
Research Note 8: Description of property “on Scotts or Chetank Cr.” adjacent to William Pickering matches description for land on Chetank creek originally patented by George Pickering in 1662.
  • 18 June 1712 probate 20 August 1712 - Will of William Pickerin I (Pickering) of St. Stephens Parish states that three sons William, George and Issac to receive land patented by his father 'George Pickerin (Pickering). Rest of Estate to be divided among five children William, George, Issac, Katherine and Susannah. William and George to help Issac built a house. [11]
Research Note 8: Assume sons named in order of birth in will. We have dates of birth for William and Issac. Therefore, George born between 1694 and 1705.[9]

  • 16Sep1719 - Richard Lancaster orphan of Rd Lancaster, age 14, bound to William Pickering II to be taught shoemaking.[6]
  • David Spense married Sarah (Downing) Spann widow of John Spann in 1698. [14]
  • Sarah Downing, daughter of John and Elizabeth Downing married first John Span, then David Spence.[8]
  • Elinor Haynie, daughter of capt. Richard (d Northumberland Co. 1724/1725). Elinor Haynie married William Pickering between 1725-1750. They were parents of Spencer, born 1729 [13] [14] [15]
  • Richard Haynie, born about 1658, was the eldest son of John and Jane Morris Haynie. Richard was elected a burgess from Northumberland Co. to the Assembly 1695-1698 and 1703-1705 and served as high sheriff of Northumberland Co. in 1706. He achieved the the rank of captain in the Northumberland Co. militia and subsequently was always referred to by that title.[13] [15]
  • Elinor Haynie born 2 Sep 1708 was daughter of Richard Haynie and second wife Elinor Ormsby.[13] [15]
  • The tombstone of Richard Haynie’s first wife survived and reads: HERE LIES THE BODY OF ELIZABETH HAYNIE DAUGHTER OF RICHARD AND JANE BRIDGER WAS BORN ON JULY 16TH 1665 MARRIED TO RICHARD HAYNIE OCTOBER 10TH 1681 BY WHOM SHE HAD 8 CHILDREN AND DIED HIS WIFE APRIL 2 1697. Children of Richard and Elizabeth were Bridger, John, Richard II, Elizabeth (b 6 Dec 1668), Macksmillion, (b 31 Oct 1688), and Katherine. Richard and Elinor’s children were Anthony, Elinor, Charles (b 23 Jan 1710), Ormsby, Samuel, Winifred (born 7 April 1706) and Ann. [13] [15]
Research Note 10: The Spencer family name appears to have originated with Elinor Haynie. Elinor’s brother Anthony also named a son Spencer.
  • 31 Oct 1724 - Will of Richard Haynie. Divides Estate among six sons, Samuel, Bridger, Macksmillion, Ormsby, Charles and Richard II and four daughters Katherine, Elinor, Winifred and Anne. Extx. Wife Elinor with assistance of Major George Eskridge. [11]

Leaves son Anthony 10 shillings. Leaves heir of Ormsby one shilling and granddaughter Nelly Thorp a gold ring, a pair of silver sleeve buttons and a silver thimble and bodkin. Daughter Catherine Bearcroft 10 shillings.[11]
Research Note 11: Elinor does not mention daughter Elinor in the Will but gives 1 shilling to grandson Spencer Pickering. Apprenticeship for Spencer describes him as an orphan in 1746 so Elinor II probably died before 1746.
  • A.O. Keach in “John Downing of Fairfields, Northumberland County, Virginia, and His Descents” States that Sarah Spence married William Pickering of Northumberland County and children were Sarah born 18 Dec 1718, William born 24 Nov 1720, Ann born 28 Dec 1722 and David born 2 Feb 1725”. She also states that “The Pickering and Welches were substantial and well known families and furnished several soldiers to the Revolutionary Army”.[8]
Research Note 12: A.O. Keach does not mention Spencer. David was the youngest mentioned and probably named after David Spence, Sarah’s father. Therefore, Sarah, William, Ann and David were children of William Pickering II and Sarah Spence. Spencer was son of William Pickering II and Elinor Haynie.

Research Note 18: John Pickering son of Spencer has to be John Spencer Pickering. Although I did not find direct evidence of his middle name, I found two grandsons and two great grandsons named after him. J.A. Cartwright and related families quoted by Priscilla Pickering Weathersby says “John Pickering was a school teacher and wrote a beautiful hand. He educated his sons but not his daughter.” There are references for payments to John Pickering for schooling in the Robertson county court records.[20]

Research Note 23: Judith Way Pickering head of household since Spencer died in 1774, three sons William 19, Spencer Mottrom 19 and Charles 27. John and Maryan have 2 children Charles Henry and another born between 1779 and 1782.
  • 9 August 1784 - St. Stevens Parish, Northumberland, VA. Will of Sarah Carpenter witnessed by John Pickren (Pickering) and Maryan Pickren (Pickering)[11]
  • 8 Jan 1787 - Estate of John Pickren (Pickering) administered by Thomas Hudnall, Thomas Hobson and Richard Morrison. [18]
Research Note 24: John Pickering and family moved from Northumberland Co VA to Edgecombe North Carolina between 1784 when John and Maryan witnessed a will and 1793 when Judith Taylor was born. This record suggests they were still in VA in 1787. According to census data (see below) William Geraldus was born in 1785 in either VA or NC. William Geraldus was probably born in VA.
Jim Note: An administrator(s) would be assigned if the owner died without a will, but John had not died. If John and family had moved out of state, without selling his land and/or without settling debts and had no intention of returning he might retain someone to "administer his estate". Might have been necessary to have them court appointed in effect letting others know the administrators had his Power of Attorney. Why 3 people? With 3 people watching each other difficult for one to rip him off. I see this as indication that John had left VA. This might put Geraldus born in NC?

Research Note 28: John Sr. implies that John T. (T probably Taylor) is son of John Spencer. Malichi, Jacob and William relationship unknown.

- Jacob Pickering

  • July 16th Tuesday, Nashville. Stewart W. Thornton and Jacob Pickering were executed on Saturday (July 13, 1811) for the murder of Elisha Garner.[26]
Researcn Note 31: Jacob Pickering was constable of Springfield and was charged with murder in Montgomery Co. for dragging Elisha Gardner, an escaped prisoner, behind a horse by the neck until he died. They got a change of venue to Davidson County but were convicted anyway and hanged. Goodspeed’s history of Robertson County has Charles the one who was hanged. Charles was also constable of Springfield, hence the confusion, but obviously was not hanged.[28] Priscilla Pickering Weathersby[20] found court records indicating that Jacob was elected constable of Springfield as early in 1802. The obituary for Charles H. Pickering indicates that the family moved to Robertson TN around 1805 and were still in NC in 1803. Jacob Pickering not related.
  • 1812 Robertson TN. Charles H. Pickering and Spencer Pickering on tax list[20]
  • War of 1812 - Charles H. Pickering 2 Regiment West Tennessee Militia (Col Lowry, Lieut Col Hammons), rank Sergent[29]

Research Note 33: Charles H. and Spencer were in the Tennessee Militia during the War of 1812. I did not find information whether they were in any battles. Andrew Jackson’s Tennessee Militia defeated the British at the Battle of New Orleans. 1812-1813.
  • Petition to the General Assembly of Tennessee “Petition of the citizens of Robertson county Tennessee requiring calvary uniforms to be made of homespun rather than imported materials” Signed by Charles H. Pickering[30]
  • Petition to the General Assembly of Tennessee “Petition from the citizens of Robertson County to amend the law concerning the collection of taxes for the purpose of building a jail in Springfield. ”Signed by Charles H. Pickering and Spencer Pickering.[30]
  • John T. Pickering is mentioned in settlement of the estate of John Crawford in Jan 1818 for expenses fees for grants tax for 1812 and 1813 in Williamson County TN[31]
  • April 1813 Dickson County, Suits, Benjamin Joslin against Spencer Pickering and Spencer Pickering against Benjamin Joslin. Spencer Pickering paying the cost. July 1813 plaintiff order case dismissed.[32]
  • Robertson County TN Wills 1814 - An inventory of the Estate of John Watkins. Due bill on Charles Pickering[25]
  • 1816 Montgomery County Tennessee - John Pickering, father of Geraldus, bought 75 1/2 acres of land along Parson’s Creek “for my beloved grandson Spencer."[20]
Research Note 34: Spencer was son of William Geraldus. There are several references to Charles H. Pickering, Spencer Pickering, John Pickering, Sr and John T. Pickering together in the Robertson County court records from around 1808 to 1813. The 1800 NC census data indicate that John Pickering and Maryan Taylor had one daughter and four sons. Although I found no definitive records, indirect evidence indicates that John T and Spencer were the two other sons. John T. and Spencer do not show up in any of the census data. I found no references to them after about 1814. In Priscilla’s genealogy notes[20] she quotes “Cartwright and Related Families” by J.A. Cartwright, “Jack Pickering (father of Judith Hart) came to this county from Tarboro (Edgecombe Co.) North Carolina. Two sons, Jack and Spencer, died in early manhood and are buried by their parents at the feet of Henry and Judith Hart. The other children were Garrett and Charles. Garrett remained in Tennessee and Charles moved to Arkansas.” Garrett is obviously Geraldus who stayed in Montgomery Co. No evidence that Charles moved to Arkansas but his children did. John Taylor may be a stretch but Judith Taylor and John Taylor could have been named for Maryan’s parents, John and Judith Taylor.
  • Judith Taylor Pickering - Hart Bible 1848[33] This Bible is in the possession of Mr. Paul Jackson. He found it in a house being torn down. Judith Gilliam, daughter of James Gilliam was married to Joseph Taylor November 3, 1768. Mary Taylor Smith (widow) married Ensign Jack Pickering, was daughter of Joseph and Judith Gilliam Taylor. Judith Taylor Pickering who married Henry Hart was daughter of Jack and Mary Taylor Pickering. Mary Taylor Pickering was first cousin of President Zachary Taylor, their fathers were brothers.
Research Note 35: This account of Maryan Taylor being the first cousin of Zachary Taylor appears to be inaccurate. Birth records from Northumberland VA[9] indicate that Maryan was the daughter of John and Judith Taylor from Northumberland VA. Since Joseph was not her father, she could not be cousin of Zachary Taylor. Several different records from Northumberland indicate her name was Maryan and not Mary Ann.

  • William Geraldus Pickering[20] [37] (born 24 Feb 1785 NCV - died 2 Apr 1864 in Montgomery County, Tennessee - married Leticia Mary Marshall (born 24 Sep 1790 ))
Research Note 36: Based on census data, it is uncertain whether William Geraldus and Mary were born in VA or NC. The 1850 census says William Geraldus and Mary were both born in NC[38] The 1860 census has both William Geraldus and Mary born in VA.[39] [40] The 1880 census for William Geraldus Pickering, Jr has both father and mother born in NC. [41]. The 1900 census for William Geraldus Jr. says father born in NC mother born in VA.[42] Most likely William Geraldus was born in VA and Mary was born in NC.
  • Priscilla states “This came from Virginia Pickering ‘Garaldus Pickering was born in Northumberland Co. Virginia. His wife Mary Marshall was born in Halifax Co. Virginia. Early in 1800 they came from Statesville, NC and settled in Montgomery Co near the Robertson Co. line on Parson’s Creek. Geraldus built the first school house and taught the first School in Montgomery Co.'"[20]
Research Note 37: Statesville is in South Carolina. Several different records indicate the family moved to TN from North Carolina.

  • Williamson County Tennessee Obituaries[43] Pickering, Charles H.; died January 15, 1844; born November 8, 1778 in Northumberland Co, Va; married Miss Elisa L. Pobart Dec 19, 1802 in N.C.; moved to Tenn. 1805; many years a citizen here; age 65 years 2 months 7 days; joined M.E. church in 1824; appointed Class Leader at Duke’s Chapel, Dixon County and held office for 15 or 16 months; was a Mason and funeral services held at M.E, church in Franklin.
  • Lanora M. Whitby d. 26 Feb 1848 near Eldorado, Union Co,. Ark. 34 years, 9 mos. 7 days dau of Charles & Eliza L. Pickering, late of Franklin Co,. Tenn mother. bros & sister.[43]
Research Note 38: Obituary for Lanora M. indicates Eliza L. was deceased in Feb 1848. She was alive for the 1840 census, so she died between 1840 and 1848.
  • 1826 Dickson County TN - Priscilla found probate records showing George H. Pickering bought 50 acres for 12 1/2 cents per acre.[20]
Research Note 39: This places George Hiram Pickering in Dickson Co. with father Charles Henry who was a member of the Hiram Masonic Lodge which could be where he came up with George’s middle name.
Research Note 40: Charles Henry is the only candidate for father of George Hiram. With the George family name he most likely descended from John Pickering of Northumberland Co VA. William Geraldus and Charles Henry are the only sons of John Pickering in the age range to have a son born in 1808, and George Hiram was not one of William Geraldus’ 12 children.

Research Note 48: Melissa S. Pickering other daughter of Charles H. Pickering and Elisa L. Pobart? Melissa is sister of John S. The 1850 census has Melissa as 28 in 1850 which does not match the 1830 and 1840 census for Charles H. However, the 1870 census has her 51 years old and Young Tatum (occupation Blacksmith) 61. The 1880 census has her 60 (Young died before 1860). This would put her birth date 1819 or 1820. She would be 21 in 1840 (census taken in June before they were married in December) and 11 in 1830 and matches the census data. The 1880 census for both Melissa Tatum and John S. Pickering show father born in Virginia and mother born in Maryland.
Research Note 49: Age for John S (Spencer) entered incorrectly on 1850 census. Charles Tatum got counted twice in the 1850 census.
Research Note 50: The Pickering family appears to have moved from Williamson Co TN to Union Co AR about 1848. From the ages of the Tatum Children, the Tatum family moved from TN to Union Co AR between 1846 and 1849. John S. Pickering married Sarah M. Wroten on 12 Dec 1848 in Union County AR. Lenora Pickering Whitley died in Union Co near El Dorado in Feb 1848. Charles William shows up in the 1850 census for Union Co living in a boarding house. George Hiram Pickering was already established in Arkansas. He was a county surveyor for Lafayette Co in 1837 and was listed as one of the earliest settlers of Layette County, AR.[56] He married Harriette Eliza Lucas in Union County in 1837 and appears in the 1840 census for Union County. He obtained land patents in Union County near El Dorado in 1848 and 1849.[52]
